This study by Olivares-Guerrero et al. provides comparative safety data from a clinical practice point of view, potentially contributing to facilitate the drug selection process for clinicians. New biologic treatments have a superior safety profile in real-world practice compared to adalimumab and its biosimilars. Olivares-Guerrero et al. used data from the BIOBADADERM registry of AEs to analyse the long-term safety profile of systemic treatments, including biological agents as well as new small oral molecules approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe PsO, using adalimumab and its biosimilars as comparators.

Cardiovascular safety of systemic psoriasis treatments: A prospective cohort study in the BIOBADADERM registry

This study by Lluch-Galcerá et al. provides valuable RWE to inform personalized clinical decision-making in the treatment of PsO. Authors evaluated the incidence of MACE associated with each systemic treatment used for patients with PsO and compared these rates to those observed with MTX.

Lebwohl et al. investigated the efficacy and safety of risankizumab compared with placebo for treating palmoplantar psoriasis. At Wk16, significantly more patients receiving risankizumab achieved palmoplantar Investigator’s Global Assessment (ppIGA) 0/1 and PPASI75. The results were sustained through Wk52 with no new safety signals.
